Re: outputting postscript to a printer

The printer that we have is an IBM Infoprint 1422. We can't seem to make an appropriate device description for it. It is connected only via ethernet. The printer does not do *SCS or *IPDS since we only want to print this *USERASCII file on it. Any help?

There are many ways to talk to a printer over ethernet. LPR, PJL, IPP, TN5250e and SMB are a few of the TCP/IP protocols... there are many others.

Can you tell us how this printer is to communicate with your iSeries?

It is currently working with lpr. But we would like to have a regular outqueue that is associated with this printer. Using lpr means we have to invoke the lpr command instead of simply overriding the outqueue using OVRPRTF. I'm pretty sure we can use any of the protocols (except maybe SMB). Will any of them work in a way so that I can do OVRPRTF OUTQ(IBM1422) and have it start printing?
